Charnwood Haven Wood Cooker
The Charnwood Haven is a compact wood-fired cooker that combines room heating with everyday cooking. Designed for smaller homes, cabins and off-grid living, the Haven Stove / oven cooker features a wood-burning fire, large hotplate and built-in oven in one appliance.
Rated as a 7KW maximum output wood oven. This means it will heat around 175 m³ of room space.
For customers looking for a wood cooker in South Africa, the Haven offers a practical way to combine the warmth of a wood fire with the ability to cook using the heat produced by the stove.
Wood-Burning Cooker with Oven
The Haven features a generous 29-litre stainless-steel-lined oven, supplied with wire racks and a baking tray. An integrated thermometer helps monitor the oven temperature for greater control when cooking.
The oven can be used for a variety of cooking, including roasting, baking and preparing everyday meals.
Above the firebox is a large hotplate designed to accommodate a stove-top kettle and a range of pots and pans. This gives the Haven two distinct cooking areas within a compact design.
6.6 kW Wood-Burning Heat Output
The Charnwood Haven has a 6.6 kW nominal heat output, with an operating range of 5–7 kW. This allows the stove to provide both room heating and cooking capability from a single wood-burning appliance.
Its large glass window provides a clear view of the fire, making the flame an important part of the Haven’s design as well as its function.
Clean-Burning Wood Cooker
The Haven incorporates Cleanburn Airwash Technology and Charnwood’s patented Quattroflow Air Management System. It is designed to provide controlled combustion while helping keep the glass clear during operation.
The stove is listed by Charnwood as an SIA Eco Design Ready model. The current South African Charnwood brochure also lists the Haven with an A+ energy efficiency rating and ClearSkies Level 5.
Practical Design
The Haven is available with a choice of high legs or a store stand, allowing the stove to suit different installation and interior design requirements. Charnwood also offers optional accessories including a rear shelf and flame guard.
The stove features a cool-to-touch handle, a drop-down throat plate and firebrick lining. Charnwood also specifies that the Haven can be installed with a 12 mm non-combustible hearth where the relevant installation requirements are met.
The technical documentation specifies a 125 mm (5-inch) flue connection with the vertical rear flue adaptor. Installation should always follow the manufacturer’s requirements and applicable local regulations.
Wood Cooker for South African Homes
A wood-burning cooker can provide more than room heating. The Charnwood Haven combines a 6.6 kW wood-burning stove with a dedicated oven and large cooking plate, making it suitable for customers who want cooking capability alongside a real wood fire.
Its compact format is particularly suited to smaller living spaces, cabins and other settings where one appliance needs to perform several functions. Charnwood specifically describes the Haven as being designed for cabins, bothies, off-grid living and smaller homes.

Off-Grid Cooking at it’s Finest.
The Haven is a wood-burning stove for off-grid use. It combines efficient clean-burn tech with timeless, solid fuel charm and so this makes it ideal for eco homes. Because of its compact body, the Haven fits into any kitchen easily. Simply add the stand and shelf for a seamless, standard-sized kitchen installation.
The Haven from Charnwood marries hyper efficient burn technology with the rustic charm of a traditional solid fuel cooker. Once the fire is established, you can switch the stove to cooking mode which means redirecting the heat around the oven before it exits through the flue. This ensures even heat distribution and improves performance and is also one of the reasons the Haven scores such a high efficiency rating.
